fix(vikunja): run as the mount owner, and drop the docker socket

Found by installing it. Two problems, one fatal and one worse.

The container crash-looped: the image runs as uid 1000, which under
rootless Docker maps to host sub-UID 232071 while the bind mounts are
owned by the install user, so Vikunja died on its first write to
/app/vikunja/files and restarted forever. Its own error message
diagnosed it exactly. Fixed with the existing USER_TAG mechanism the
portal container already uses — 0:0 under rootless (container root IS
the install user on the host), the real uid:gid under rooted — rather
than hardcoding either.

More seriously, the compose mounted the docker socket, copied in from a
template that needed it. A task manager has no business talking to the
daemon, and the socket is root-equivalent access on the host. Removed.
